Hu Recom HGF, 50 µg

From STEMCELL Technologies, this Human Recombinant HGF is a CHO-expressed pleiotropic growth factor that promotes proliferation, motility, survival, and differentiation, and is intended for use as a laboratory reagent.

Biological activity is determined by its ability to promote the proliferation of 4MBr5 cells, with cell proliferation measured using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum, and was 7.2 ng/mL in the cited example. SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing and non-reducing conditions, with 5 μg loaded and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining, shows a predicted molecular mass of 88 - 90 kDa (single chain), 59 - 61 kDa (alpha chain), or 30 - 34 kDa (beta chain).
